Automotive Armoring Grows in Brazil in 2024, Even with Decrease in Thefts, Reaching Popular Vehicles, Electric Cars, and Innovative Services

The market for vehicle armoring continues to expand in Brazil and the numbers show a consolidation scenario. In the first six months of 2024, 22,425 cars underwent the protection process, representing an increase of 11.5% compared to the same period in 2023, according to the Brazilian Armoring Association (Abrablin).

This advance is noteworthy because it occurs even in areas where theft rates have decreased.

Security Rises Despite The Decrease in Thefts

In the city of São Paulo, data from the Public Security Secretariat (SSP-SP) shows a 10% decrease in vehicle thefts.

The total dropped from 6,167 cases in the first half of 2024 to 5,542 in the same period of 2025.

Despite this, the demand for armoring has not weakened. The state of São Paulo has the largest armored fleet in the country, with about 19,000 units, followed by Rio de Janeiro and Ceará.

Armoring Ceases to Be Exclusive

Previously restricted to luxury models, armoring has become an affordable option for more common vehicles.

Among the most sought-after used models are the Toyota Corolla and Hilux, in addition to the Jeep Compass. Average prices reach R$ 250,000 on digital platforms like OLX.

The cost of the service depends on the car’s structure and varies from R$ 70,000 to R$ 120,000. This range corresponds to the installation of level III-A barriers, the maximum allowed for civilian use in Brazil.

This type of protection withstands gunfire from pistols and revolvers, the most commonly used weapons in urban robberies.

New Fronts in The Sector

The sector has gained innovation with the inauguration of the first armoring factory for electric cars in the country.

Moreover, companies are expanding services with app-based transport in armored fleets, aimed at upscale areas and city centers.

The Armed Forces regulate the activity, as the materials used are on the list of products controlled by the Army.

High Demand and Delivery Times

Some of the leading companies can armor between 550 and 600 cars per month. The average completion time is around 22 business days, counted from the release of materials by the Army.

Abrablin estimates that Brazil currently has about 425,000 armored vehicles in circulation, within a national fleet of 63 million.

Therefore, even though it is restricted to a portion of the population, armoring continues to grow, a direct reflection of the search for solutions to urban insecurity.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

A mysterious structure has been found beneath an ancient city in Egypt — and the most impressive thing is what technology has revealed hidden for 2,600 years.

Rare frog thought to be extinct after only appearing in fossils reappears, becoming a ‘living relic’ of evolution and gaining a real path to spread after combating introduced predators.

Astronauts reveal that cities shine so brightly at night that they are visible from space as “artificial constellations,” while highways in the desert appear more than the Great Wall of China, which practically disappears when viewed from orbit.

With 55 floors, 177 meters in height, a 15-meter walkway between the twin towers, ventilated facade, and 6,300 m² of leisure space, Ápice Towers already has one tower completed and another nearly at the top.

A magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Alaska reshaped the coastline in minutes, sank entire cities, raised sections of the seabed by several meters, and left one of the fastest geographical transformations ever recorded on Earth.
